The waves are my kingdom
The sun is my throne
Yet my sand castles melt
In the sea all alone
As the shores that I tread
Come to life as I flow
Like the tide in the wake
Of today's undertow
As the mermaid horizons
Still glimmer and swim
Through my slipstreaming eels
Of electrified whim
Yet none of them sing
Of my shipwreck lament
Just lull me like sirens
Of impure intent
With bellies of plastic
And coral reef bleach
Just piña coladas
And daiquiri speech
As I'm fed to the sharks
And Laurentian Abysses
To drown in the shallows
Of ignorant blisses
To one of Poseidon's
Atlantean blood
I ride hurricane steeds
And I rise with the flood
For my bottled up message
Was hers all along
The ocean my muse
Is my blue and grey song
And onward it drifts
To a tune of the breeze
Inside is a tempest
Of her symphonies
I compose in the skies
With the calm of a storm
So come take a dip
'Cuz the water is warm

The waves are my kingdom
The sun is my throne
Yet my sand castles melt
In the sea all alone
As the shores that I tread
Come to life as I flow
Like the tide in the wake
Of today's undertow
As the mermaid horizons
Still glimmer and swim
Through my slipstreaming eels
Of electrified whim
Yet none of them sing
Of my shipwreck lament
Just lull me like sirens
Of impure intent
With bellies of plastic
And coral reef bleach
Just piña coladas
And daiquiri speech
As I'm fed to the sharks
And Laurentian Abysses
To drown in the shallows
Of ignorant blisses
To one of Poseidon's
Atlantean blood
I ride hurricane steeds
And I rise with the flood
For my bottled up message
Was hers all along
The ocean my muse
Is my blue and grey song
And onward it drifts
To a tune of the breeze
Inside is a tempest
Of her symphonies
I compose in the skies
With the calm of a storm
So come take a dip
'Cuz the water is warm
